So we're back for another Christmas Card Club Challenge, and this week it's my pleasure to have chosen the theme, which is a Christmas/Winter Scene, with the alternative of Anything Goes, if the theme doesn't work for you.I've got two cards for this week, both using the Stampendous Snowy Postcard stamp.
In each case I stamped the image twice, then cut the centre oval out of the second image so I could pop it up with Foam Tape.
Images were stamped with Archival Cobalt for the blue, and Versafine Sepia for the brown.
The Paper covering the card fronts is from an old Papermania pad, and the embossed piece was done with an Appleblossom All Occasion Merry Christmas folder.
The Sepia one used various Brown DI's, and a brown H2O, otherwise all was the same. In both cases, I added some clear embossing ink to the roofs and ground, then sprinkled with Stampendous Sparkle Puff powder. It doesn't puff up as much as the Inkylicious Puffy Stuff, but it's perfect for when you only want a little dimension.

I love this stamp Shaz ...one of my all time favourites and how different it looks done in different colours...beautiful cards xxxx
Thanks for a great theme this week Shaz and your cards are superb. I have this stamp too and it's one of my favourite, traditional scenes. I love how you demonstrate different styles that can be achieved with the same stamp here too.

Morning Shaz. Two wonderful cards and it just shows how the same stamp can be used for different looks. Loved your Challenge this week. Have a Great Week. Hugs Rita xxx
Two beautiful cards, great to see same stamp used in different colours
I loved your theme this time Shaz and also love your cards. I must try and get that stamp because it is fabulous although I know it has been out a long time. Maybe eBay. Hugs Christine xx
Hi Shaz, it's a fabulous image and looks quite different inked up in the two colours, super designs too.
Thanks for the challenge, I love it, Kate x x
They look fabulous Shaz. I love how a change of colour scheme can make two similar cards look so different.
I have this stamp too(along with the train) and love using it. You have given me new ideas though with the tinting of the whole background and cutting the oval out again to create the dimension. Love both of your versions. Hugs Mrs A.
Great theme Shaz - really loved it - and your cards are wonderful! Hugs rachel x
